SCOOCH ON OVER
Just posted on Deliberately Delivered page a topic I would love to hear feedback from you guys on. Just click the chains on the sidebar.
IT'S MY CHOICE
Today will be a day I get to choose.
Wish I had a great post for you.
Maybe some cool giveaways.
Heck I would even settle for some really great pictures.
But the really great pics on my camera won't email to my laptop.
I have nothing to giveaway.
All I can tell you about is my trip to the dentist, A-G-A-I-N. And that I get to go back in 2 weeks. And MC 2 goes back in two weeks.
Kitchen floor still a mess. BIL #2 coming over today so we can work on it.
Not to mention there is a motorcycle in my garage. We won't even go there.
And I don't like what the scales have been telling me.
I could say they lie.
Sadly I think they are brutally honest.
So today I get to choose. Still in the process of deciding. I will decide how the day goes. How I will respond and what I will say and do. I choose Who gets the glory in my day and Who I will praise. I decide if I will battle the flesh, in more ways than one, and I will decide my attitude for the rest of the day.
So today while everyone else is still sleeping I will decide.
I will choose Christ for He has chosen me.

* Update - I chose to step on the scale this am per my usual Thursday routine. Ignorance is not bliss. Accoriding to the spewer of absolute truth, I had lost 1.2 pounds. PRAISE THE LORD! Now see, I could have chosen to NOT step on the scale and spent all day in a funk about my weight. Even 1.2 pounds (less you forget the 0.2 cuz it MATTERS!) gives me hope and is a sign of progress. We choose!

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DENTIST...
So I took MC 2 to the dentist office to get a prized silver tooth. We have done this with MC 1 many, M-A-N-Y times. They have to be sedated. MC 1 gets very emotional, and sleeps, a lot! He mellows out in the office and watches TV.
MC 2 ....whole new ball of wax. The boy is cut from a different cloth. Mellow ran as far away from him as possible. If that tongue came out once (a sure sign that meanness is about to ensue) it came out 50x in that office. The worst was going to the potty. I am sure the people outside heard me saying loudly "IN THE WATER! GET IT IN THE WATER!"
Let's just say the law of reflection works well for projectile liquids as well as waves. I was doing a tap dance trying to NOT get wet.
God was good... all went well and MC 2 is better.
I do have a prayer request for you. MC 1 needs a BFF. Please join me in prayer for that for him. Breaks my heart when he has his emotional breakdowns. So hard for mom:(
Well, I go to finish off the great root canal of '09 tomorrow.
Hope you all have a great day!
Love ya!

A BOY NAMED SUE
Somethings are just wrong.
A boy named Sue is a fine example.
So is MC 1 going to school and telling everyone he got drunk.
We have only been there 2 weeks... rumors like that need to wait at least a month.
To explain, when we visit our oh so friendly dentist she has to give the boys a sedative before beginning reconstructing their mouths like Jaws from James Bond.
The sedative makes them very loopy and emotional (aka drunk).
Now I take full responsibility because when I was telling HH about it I said it made him drunk.
Connect the dots and we have MC 1 telling his new friends he got drunk. Twice.
So I insisted that he go back today and clarify, because apparently these little guys have a knowledge of alcohol that is way before their time and immediately went to beer.
It's kinda like the time he told his Kindergarten teacher that we threw dead cats in the woods. True but completely out of context.
Apparently these little guys also like to discuss the culinary skills of their parents as well. Except mine. While all the other boys were singing the praises of their mama's and daddy's steak and salad and what have you, mine is raving on about daddy's steak and nanny's green beans. Mom did not even make the cut. Mom is the best at stopping at the donut store. She does that very well!
Ya'll have a great weekend! Safe Labor Day!

3:30 IN THE MORNING
The trip to the dentist went so good we have decided to go back 2 more times.
Fun stuff.
Between that and the reality of how much the kitchen floor could cost and the major disarray of my house has me looking over the edge of a pretty good little funk. Plus I am up at 3:30 because someone said their tummy hurt.
All righty, now that I have complained and been a tad bit in the flesh, let me now focus on the solution to my problems - Jesus.
He will get me through all of it. He will provide when there is nothing else. He can show favor in all my stuff. Amen and so be it.

HURRY UP AND WAIT
We are in a holding pattern so sis when you read this pass the info along to BIL.
We went last night to look at floors. I already had in my mind what I wanted.
It did not matter.
That is not true.
I did get HH away from the linoleum.
Trying to put down one big piece of that would be a nightmare,
and introduced him to the world of locking flooring:)
Then it started.
Hubs had his own ideas.
I mean what was I thinking.
I totally did not think how the floor would go with the wall decor in my living room.
Because apparently it is the determining factor for how we decorate the rest of the house.
Anyway, he picked what he liked (which is very nice and I like it as well) and OF COURSE it is special order and will take two weeks to get here. If you know HH then it comes as no surprise that it is special order and more complicated. It is just how the man works.
So today I will get footage and order and then I will wait.
Honestly it is probably a good thing- kinda spreads out the cost.
MC 2 goes to the dentist for the first time today.
Praying for a good report.
He is not under the impression that silver teeth are cool yet.
Have a great Wednesday!

WHILE WE ARE AT IT...
I had limited man child knowledge until I got married and had my own. Having no brothers apparently shelters you from the thinking that comes along with the Y chromosome.
HOWEVER, having all sisters gets you all brother-in-laws, and having a hubs myself, I am quickly learning.
My goal Sunday was to get the floor out Sunday and see the damage.
I thought that was the common goal.
I did not know I would have to defend that goal and keep giving constant reminders.
BIL wants to rip out the cabinets.
HH is starting a new project under the sink.
They both decide there are things in the current bathroom they want to rip out.
There is discussion of redoing ALL the plumbing.
It goes on and on.
Then we reach the straw that broke the camel's back. It started like this-
HH : Hey BIL (brother in law) while you are here and we have everything ripped out, think we can rip out the windows...
BIL: Oh sure man, and put in French Doors? I mean that is the thing to do. While you have everything ripped out fix all you can. Can you afford it? French Doors are expensive.
NOW THEY LOOK TO ME
ME: Uhm no. I would like to pay for the house not just fix it up for the next owner when they REPO it!
I think my biting sarcasm stomped all over their remodeling buzz.
I am playing the waiting game right now. Waiting for the floor to dry, waiting for HH to pull out the rest of the baseboards, waiting.
While I was at it I planned paint schemes with my mom. It will be a slow process and I will get you pics as we go along.
Excited aren't you?
Well since I am no longer employed this is what you have to look forward to.
Get used to it.
It can only get better!
